EXCITING NEWS!

The dedication of the Anne Moody Memorial Highway is set for 10 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2019, at Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church, 8755 Hwy 24 East, Centreville, Miss. 39631.

The ceremony is being held by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT). An MDOT representative will be sending the news media additional information via letter or press release.

In 2018, Gov. Phil Bryant signed into law a Bill to name a portion of Highway 24 in Wilkinson County (between Woodville and Centreville) in Moody’s honor. The request for the honor was spearheaded by the Anne Moody History Project (AMHP) of Wilkinson County Correctional Facility (WCCF) in Woodville, Miss.

Rep. Angela Cockerham sponsored the bill for the highway.

AMHP also succeeded in its efforts in 2017 to have a street name in Moody’s honor in her hometown of Centreville. The street is called, Anne Moody Street.
